More important than the volume, however, is who is using APIs today. In addition to apps, partners, and internal services, AI agents are increasingly accessing APIs\u2014autonomously, at a high frequency, and often outside the scope of existing governance.  <\/p><p>With the MCP specification dated July 28, 2026, the protocol has become stateless and can be scaled using standard HTTP infrastructure. For platform teams, this means that MCP traffic belongs in API management\u2014with the same rules for authentication, rate limiting, audit trails, and cost control as any other API. <\/p><p style=\"margin-bottom:0\">Swiss banks and insurance companies are subject to additional specific requirements. FINMA Circular 2023\/1 requires effective management of operational risks and the resilience of critical functions; Circular 2018\/3 governs outsourcing; and the revised Data Protection Act (DSG) applies to all processing of personal data. Many institutions therefore deliberately operate their platforms on-premises or in a private cloud on OpenShift. A SaaS control plane located abroad is not ruled out, but must be clearly justified and documented.   <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-34f0c294 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"34f0c294\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5eb7ec9c\" data-id=\"5eb7ec9c\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7906a11e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7906a11e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Five Trends Shaping the Market<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-62b07854 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"62b07854\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">AI gateways and MCP are becoming standard features<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-29145a42 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"29145a42\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"margin:0\">Within a year, virtually all major providers have released MCP support: Gravitee with its own MCP proxy API type, Kong with MCP Registry and Agent Gateway, WSO2 with MCP Gateway and MCP Hub, Tyk with an MCP Gateway in its core product, and the hyperscalers with Apigee API Hub, Azure API Management, and Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Gateway.

Hyperscaler platforms are a good fit when the cloud strategy is clear. Integration suites really shine in heterogeneous environments. Open-source and open-core platforms offer the greatest operational flexibility and are therefore the natural choice for many Swiss financial institutions. Kubernetes-native gateways are ideal for platform teams, but they are no substitute for a comprehensive API management solution.    <\/p><p style=\"margin-bottom:0\">What\u2019s new is that every platform decision today is also an AI decision: Whoever manages APIs will also manage access by AI agents in the future.
